But Pippen naturally has his own confidence!

If Han Yi keeps falling to the low post, Pippen has no choice. His height and weight are indeed powerless against the inside monsters, but if this inside monster comes to the three-point line, Pippen will not be trapped!

The inside and outside play styles are completely different!

The same advantage in strength and height, when fighting in the inside restricted area, the gap between them is almost impossible to make up. Even if a center is very poor in offense, he can still rely on height and strength to crush the outside defender.

Of course, the future four-time DPOY Rudy Gobert, who has epic butter hands, is an exception!

But it doesn't work on the outside. The height and strength of the outside are naturally useful, but there is no absolute advantage reflected in the restricted area. At this time, Pippen's defensive ability, which can be called the top level in history, can be fully demonstrated!

The first step to defend Han Yi is to start from receiving the ball. Pippen locked Han Yi behind him with his footsteps and interfered with him with his long arms. It was impossible to completely block Han Yi from receiving the ball, but what Pippen could do was to make people who wanted to pass the ball to Han Yi doubtful, and just this little doubt was enough for the other Bulls to kill the chance of passing the ball!

But it seems that the Celtics have been prepared for this situation. Since Han Yi is not easy to receive the ball, we will play our own!

At this moment, it seems that Pippen is defending one by one, but in fact Jordan and Harper are preparing to intercept Han Yi's pass, which gives the other Celtics a good offensive opportunity!

Walter McCarty, who didn't make a three-pointer in this game, seized the opportunity and made a three-pointer against Kukochi who was defending in front of him!

Walter McCarty then imitated Han Yi and complained about Kukochi: "Thank you, walking white man's scope. With you by my side, I feel more confident when shooting!"

Kukchi was so angry that he vomited blood: "Good man, even a rubbish like you can complain about me, right?"

But to be honest, for McCarty, it is definitely okay to use trash talk to spray Kukochi, but if you really think that you can single out Kukochi with a three-pointer with the ball, then you can really go to bed.

After the first three-pointer was successful, McCarty had two consecutive three-pointers. After the fourth three-pointer, he didn't dare to shoot at all. In a hurry, he passed the ball to Han Yi with only 2 seconds left!

Under Pippen's close defense, Han Yi got the ball and was pressed to death by Pippen before he could shoot!

24 seconds!

The referee whistled!

The ball was changed, and the Bulls attacked!

Han Yi was very impressed by Pippen's defense. Why could Pippen be the deputy of Jordan, the god of basketball?

Isn't it because of his defensive ability that can be ranked at the top of the pyramid of NBA history?

In the last two seconds, facing Pippen's close defense, it was already good enough to catch the ball. It was normal to be blocked and not shoot!

Unfortunately, Han Yi already recognized Pippen's defensive ability, but Pippen took the initiative to make things difficult for him!

"Good shot, great defense, Scottie!"

When the red whistle sounded, Han Yi loudly affirmed Pippen's defense.

But Han Yi had given him face, but he didn't want this face.

Pippen said to Han Yi with a fierce look:

"Han, your pretense is over. Either you go back to your inside line, or I will defend you so that you can't get a single point on the outside line!"

Han Yi's face, which was still smiling just now, also turned cold and answered: "Oh!"

The Bulls attacked, Jordan continued to stand up, played two points, and the ball returned to the Celtics!

And Pippen, who had already made a bold statement, had to fulfill his words!

There is never a lack of bold statements on the court, but if you can fulfill your bold statements, then it is awesome!

And if you just blew it out with your front foot and got slapped in the face with your back foot, all your bold statements will be firmly engraved on the pillar of shame!

This is a very fair thing!

So Pippen raised his defensive intensity to another level, and the whole person entangled Han Yi like an eight-legged spider.

Now, let alone attacking, it is difficult for Han Yi to receive the ball smoothly!

When Celtics point guard Dana Barros kept looking for Han Yi after passing half court, but Barros couldn't find a safe passing opportunity under the Bulls' three-dimensional defense, Han Yi chose to continue to move up!

The ball can't come to me, so I can go find the ball!

Han Yi moved up to catch the ball, knocking Kukoc, who was blocking between him and Barros, and finally got the damn basketball!

Then Han Yi dribbled forward, ready to challenge Pippen!

Such a move, which made Pippen laugh!

If you are a guard, then it is okay to catch the ball like this.

However, you are a center position player. You are standing on the three-point line and are far away from the basket. Now you continue to pull up to catch the ball. You are almost at the midfield, and you are still dribbling in?

Do you think you are playing a street ball?

Do you think my Pippen's defense is a decoration?

Pippen was merciless. Facing Han Yi with such a high center of gravity, he directly rushed to steal the ball!

Of course, Pippen knew the danger of such a forced steal. If this kind of steal failed, it would be a complete loss and would inevitably be counterattacked!

But the temptation was too great. The seven-foot center dribbled the ball so recklessly on the outside, which was simply challenging Pippen's nerves and trampling on Pippen's defensive dignity, right?

Pippen's long arms were about to steal the ball from Han Yi, but Han Yi's ball speed suddenly increased, and he changed direction and shook the silly Pippen behind him, then dribbled the ball in one step and rushed into the inside!

With these long legs, he dribbled one step inside the three-point line and made a layup in three steps!

One step, two steps!

The third step was a dunk over Luke Longley who was guarding the restricted area!

It was just that Longley was scared half a second before being dunked, and chose to take a step back to give up the restricted area, but it was obviously too late to be scared now!

"Bang!"

Han Yi succeeded in the dunk!

Longley wanted to retreat, and his body was leaning back. The center of gravity of his body was not stable, and he was splashed by the residual power of Han Yi's powerful dunk!

The 2.18-meter-tall, 130-kilogram Australian white bear was blown away!

Anxious!

The first thing Luke Longley did when he stood up was not to look for Han Yi, but to look for Pippen:

"Hey, you bastard, aren't you a top defensive expert? You said you would shut out Han Yi last round, but you let him pass you in the next round?"

Pippen said aggrievedly: "I was defending the outside line, how could I stop him from rushing into the inside with such a big guy? Shouldn't you have fanned him down in the inside?"

Luke Longley: "How dare you say that? Who can pass him so easily with his first step?"

Looking at Pippen and Longley arguing, Han Yi came to the rescue:

"Don't argue, you two are trash in my eyes!"

"You want to defend me, right?" Han Yi said directly: "It's okay to talk trash to fool me, but it would be very stupid if you fool yourself!"
